We’ve put a lot of love into Core Keeper this year and we’ve got plenty more to work on as we approach 1.0, but it’s also important for us to take some time to unwind over the Christmas period so that we’re well-rested for the new year. With that in mind, we’re pleased to report that the Pugstorm team’s Christmas vacation starts tomorrow! You can find out a little bit more about some of our plans below, and we’ll be back on the 2nd of January full of energy to crack on with dev work!
Fredrik Präntare - Chief Executive Officer & Game Director
This year, Fredrik will be travelling to Northern Sweden to visit his family. We’re sure he’ll be enjoying plenty of good food and festive fun but he’s also keen to get a little more exercise while he’s on vacation – hopefully, it won’t be too cold for him to go on lots of Christmas walks! After lots of socialising and exercise, he plans to spend a little time away from screens this year and get stuck into a Kazuo Ishiguro book or two!
Sven Thole - Chief Operating Officer & Development Director
Sven will be heading out to his family forest to fetch a Christmas tree soon, and we honestly couldn’t think of a more wholesome festive activity! There’ll be plenty of family time on the cards, but he’s also looking forward to playing the new Darkest Dungeon 2 DLC and re-reading the Game of Thrones books in preparation for the “upcoming” release!
Julian Seifert-Olszewski - Lead Artist & Art Director
Julian will also be visiting family this year and is very excited to announce that he’s expecting a new addition around February time. There’s lots to get ready when your first baby is on the way, and he’ll be spending plenty of time preparing for the new arrival. That won’t stop him from having a little fun watching movies, reading through his stack of freshly ordered books, and painting minis of course!
Herman Appelgren - Game Developer
Herman has one thing on his mind this Christmas, and that’s cozy times in front of the fireplace at his Cabin in Dalarna. He’ll be playing plenty of board games with his siblings and is planning on playing Root and starting a new Gloomhaven campaign! He’ll also be learning to fly the B787 Dreamliner in Microsoft Flight Simulator and catching up on the Star Wars series!
We hope that, no matter what your plans are this month, you find plenty of time to unwind and to play games! We may be heading out on vacation, but we’ll still be sharing plenty of activity on our Twitter page, so keep an eye out.
